[Nokia Lumia 800] Stefan Caromov:
Am i understood wright ? This device can unlock all those models and then we can flash with every custom rom , and to install any app ?
[Nokia Lumia 800] lordmaxey:
Hi there,

you need atf box for unlocking your device and for replacing dload with qualcomm bootloader.

But you needed to solder a modified rj-45 cable to your device's mainboard, which is very difficult.

With the cable mentioned in this thread, you don't have do the soldering, as this cable can "connect" to the parts you usually have to solder the wires :)

So, you still need ATF Box + This cable. The good thing: you only have to disassemble your phone and connect it ;)

No more soldering! :)

Btw, i ordered the cable yesterday, and inform you when tested :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] cdbase:
yes ,if you have ATF BOX , you have to point ur finger on motherboard exactly where your testpoints are to get a proper connection

it works just fine then ;) i just swaped my osbl to qualcom yesterday :D

Lordmaxey -NICE ROM (FUNKY) ,I've found couple bugs but overall it's just great , video usb out should fit it needs at all ;)

now I'm going to try cook my own :))
[Nokia Lumia 800] .NetRolller 3D:
Unfortunately it doesn't have pins for VCC and VCCQ, and so can't be used for the card reader hack, only with ATF. However, the CLK-to-GND trick should still work with them.
[Nokia Lumia 800] lordmaxey:
Thanks :)

Could you please post the bugs you've found in my rom thread? Would be great, as i can only fix them, when i know them ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] pedrocel85:
Net,

Why dont you open your own thread to explain your hacks?

Im very intrested in your concept-to-proof methods.

It's being discussed in the "dev-only" thread.
[Nokia Lumia 800] moropazzo96:
If you do not have the ATF BOX you can not use an emulator? On Symbian (5230, 5800, etc.) I used JAF JAF PKEY emulator with GM .. You can not do such a thing? Sorry if I said bull****!
[Nokia Lumia 800] .NetRolller 3D:
The ATF Box is not just a hardware dongle - it's an FPGA device that is used for reading/writing the eMMC chip. Also, it doesn't simply implement the MMC protocol as a card reader would - it actually tampers with the MMC command/data messages sent by the phone's CPU, while the PCB is powered on. (This is why it doesn't need access to the VCC and VCCQ pins.)

Unless you have a matching FPGA that you can program with the ATF logic, you cannot use the Lumia TP functions of the ATF software without a genuine box.

Cyclone Box is slightly easier to emulate, as it uses an AVR microcontroller, rather than an FPGA, so it may be possible to program an Arduino for the job - however, the Cyclone software still has major problems with its eMMC implementation (specifically, it tries to use SPI mode, instead of 1-bit MMC, but SPI is only supported on removable MMC cards, not eMMC). Also, Cyclone Box requires VCC and VCCQ access, since its eMMC mode is simply an SD/MMC card reader implemented in MCU - in fact, it can connect to normal SD/MMC cards as well as eMMC chips.

[Nokia Lumia 800] unrandomsam:
Interesting when someone else adds support for these cables. (To a cheap box (Best infinity / MXbox / Fenix Key etc etc).

ATF is not really worth it if you are not in the gsm business.

(Maybe I will buy an ATF when my dev unlock runs out if I have to I don't like paying money to phone shops unless they actually do something that is a reasonably skilled job - problem I have is none of them are willing to do any of them near me (And there is tons of them eyesores on the high street).
[Nokia Lumia 800] .NetRolller 3D:
Problem is, it's ATF's unique hardware (an FPGA) that makes it suitable for this task. Other boxes are usually microcontroller-based, and can't override logic levels on a live board. (I proposed the "card reader" method, which involves powering the eMMC chip separately on a powered-down board - apparently it's not as simple as I originally thought, as an amplifier / buffer circuit is also necessary -, but that would need a different TP cable, which also connects the VCC and VCCQ lines.)

The only other box that has a chance is Cyclone, which is also FPGA-based. (Cyclone's devs are working on this feature, but apparently they are trying to use SPI mode, which the eMMC chips usually don't support - discussions on Cyclone's forums show that the Cyclone people don't know the difference between SPI and 1-bit MMC.)
[Nokia Lumia 800] unrandomsam:
subject [optional]

The only problem I have with this is that at least with the cowboys in my city they won't make the price fairer. I don't object to paying for something that takes skill but don't like paying a cartel where the limit of the still is removing the cover and clicking a button.
[Nokia Lumia 800] lordmaxey:
Hi there,

could you post a picture? Thx :good:

i also bought those cables, but couldn't use them right now, as i had to "cut off" something off the metal frame under the shield to do the soldering ;)

Now, i cannot get an successful connection.

cheers
[Nokia Lumia 800] Emba4:
i have an ATF but on all the lumias ive seen the shielding is not just something you can pop off with your fingernail or tweezers like on say the one V its all soldered to the board so you will either have to cut or desolder the shielding to get to the required test points, only the 710 can be loaded without pulling your phone to bits

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bobloiy:
Hi :) Um... I've known about this v6 Supercharger for a while now, and I used it before. I just want to know what you guys think about this modification. Also, how does the seeder app work? Does it even do anything? Finally, I would appreciate it if you guys could answer this one question: What kernal setting do I use? The DONT PANIC or the PANIC ones? Thanks.(Using perseus 31.2)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
The seeder app works on the same exact premise as you sitting on the John and taking a dump all day, thus causing your toilet to flush faster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jiffy1080:
That is an amazing explanation. As for V6, I have used it but haven't seen any performance improvements from it. The 3G tweaks from the 3G turbocharger script work quite well. If you are going to run V6 and are selecting the kernel options I recommend the first one. I believe it is rock solid or something like that. Every kernel for this phone is stable. Now if you are experiencing random reboots and such you could try the middle option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Im using v6, 3g and KAK and use the custom oom from v6 keeps alot of background crap cleaned up I hate when a game I havent played in a few days is hanging out in the background for no reason. If you use KAK skip the I/O tweaks.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
I've searched, trawled and read through so many threads and cannot make my mind up which way to turn (I'm so indecisive). There is so much choice (which is a good thing in some ways and not so good in others) but it's confused the hell out of me. I could flash various ROM's and kernels all the while having to restore my data each time and run it for a while to see if it is suitable for my needs. This seems to the moderators general consensus for those asking what the 'best ROM' is (Understandable). But this (having to flash ROM's and kernels each time) is tedious and there is always some element of risk that you could end up with a bad flash the more you do this.

So here I am asking. Please note I am *NOT* asking which the best overall ROM is. I understand perfectly well that there is no best ROM and each ROM has different functionality and features that are suited to different peoples needs. I am asking which ROM suits *MY* needs. If moderators decide that I am asking what is the best ROM then I guess I will have to try harder to argue my case.

I don't mind if it's GB, ICS or JB - obviously I would *LOVE* to have a JB ROM but it's still in its infancy and has certain issues simply because there is and never will be an official JB ROM for my phone (Thanks Sony!).

My current setup is a 2011 Arc S currently running JJ Hybrid 3.1 (still) and ArcKnight kernel (forget which build).

I am not overly interested in fancy GUI's, themes, extra functionality or overclocking, although it would nice to have them 'just so long as they don't impact on performance and stability'.

Things I want.

#Rooted with CWM is a given obviously

#As lag free as possible (It takes several seconds to launch Contacts at present and laggy key presses in the phone dialer annoy)

#Good battery performance

#Increased memory

#Bloatware removed

#Removal of or fixed/tweaked default apps (For some reason the default browser sucks CPU/battery dry and I have disabled it on current ROM).

#Smooth 720p video (is this even possible either in the FW or through a mod?)

#Good camera performance (Use a mod?)

#Status bar with quick toggles and notifications

#Good WIFI, 2G,3G/HSDPA performance (especially if 3G is tweaked as I get poor signal in some places)

#Bravia engine (1 or 2?)

#Correctly functioning hardware including LED's/Side LED/Buttons/Sensors (brightness, rotation etc)

#STABILITY (as little bugs as possible basically)

#Easy upgrade path between builds (not having to wipe data each time although I realize this is sometimes required)

#WIFI tethering

I don't care much for HDMI output but if it works it's a bonus. Things like USB OTG and USB mass storage would also be useful but not essential.

I think that's all of it. If moderators still feel this is a 'best ROM' thread feel free to contact me privately to cast your warnings. Hopefully though they will see this is a bit more specific than that and actually asks more pertinent questions rather than a blanket 'which ROM is best' question.

Thanks for reading :)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
Hi.

While this may not be a best ROM thread as you say, its just as equally annoying. You've listed what most of us want from a ROM, and as you say you've read this that and the other then its time to pick one and flash it. If you think the process of flashing custom ROMs is tedious then learn how to mod, tweak a stock ROM to your own liking then you won't need to rely on others to tell you what to flash.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
We can't say, what fits you, we don't know your life. You know it the best, you should find the perfect one.

XDA is not a place, where people are slaves, stop being lazy and do something yourself aswell.

Look at ROM's overviews, features, functions, read comments (if you want to know more about the ROM) etc.

Try them, put them to the test in regular usage. Then you find one. We can't say, which one is good for you.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XtremeSilencer:
yeah he is right!

Atomic Gb is awesome !

xtremesilencer has done some great work to make it!

I'm on ICS because of the mobile data manager (built in, doesn't work on gb) as i have a limited data plan.

I'm right now on the xperia t rom, it is really great, the battery lasts up to two days. (3-4 hours display on, around 10h mobile data and wifi is always on).

Using the stock 587 kernel. Never had such an amazing battery life
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
Whilst I understand the sentiment of 'try them for yourself' and 'you are just being lazy' and 'read the comments' etc. It takes *TIME* I don't need overclocking. I don't need all the fancy themes. I don't need a ton of tweaks other than those that meet the basic requirements I have listed.

As I said whilst there is a healthy development community on this particular device, it is hard work to find the right ROM. I have to go through the list of ROMS, kernels and mods in the thread stickied in 'General' (I noticed at least one ROM is missing from that list btw). On the whole it does not tell me a lot other than name, ROM, base (GB, ICS, JB) and then you have to spend a lot of time trying to find out all the info about the ROM by going to the ROM's thread, read about it's features, how to install it, which kernels work best with it, how to fix, patch or workaround any problems found (usually buried deeper into the thread with sometimes 'hundreds' of replies so you might not know about the patches and workarounds until you actually install it and when you ask in the thread someone says it was mentioned earlier in the thread which you now have to search through) etc etc ad nauseam.

I'm just looking for a shortlist of ROM's to try based on others opinions that meet my criteria.

I do also believe that there should be a sticky that instead of ostracizing members for asking 'which is the best ROM' as there currently is (which I know can be annoying for the moderators) instead should offer opinions and experiences. Which ROM's offer which features and how well they perform and yes, perhaps even a poll.

This would be the 'go to' thread for all those people (including myself) who are stuck for choice.

But perhaps this is too much work (I guess you could say to me I should do it then and keep it updated since I am so interested in it)...

The forum is chaotic as it is. But this is the nature of forums.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammiSaysHello:
Unfortunately, that's what most people would have to go through to actually find a rom that they would stick with. Luckily I tried 1 and never moved away because it was suffice. Here's a list to shorten the task, tremendously for you :)

Ultimate HD

Beautiful ICS

Jelly Sandwich - I've been using this one for months without changing. I'd recommend version 7.4 as it's stable and anything version 8 and above are a hassle to install and have ugly icons =/

Atomic GB - The only gingerbread based rom listed as opposed to ics so bear in mind the cybershot wouldn't work :)

I can't really comment on any of these roms' 'personal sufficiency' other than jelly sandwich, but these are the ones I would test if I were you :cowboy: good luck
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangosierra_:
well XDA is a dev site where devs share their creations for each other, they're not obliged to put them up here and frankly it takes a billion times more work to make a rom than to look through the ROM threads
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ela703:
Xperia T ROM is the way to go!

I too was in the same state 3-4 months back and all I wanted was a stable & smooth ROM (better than stock, of course). So, I went thro most of the threads and based on the feedback of many, I narrowed down on Ultimate HD. Sure its a better ROM and I was happy using it for close to 2 months. But after prolonged usage, it started to lag. Only then, I started experimenting with multiple ROMs.

There are ROM u would start hating it immediately after installing it and there are which will make u to stick with it for a while. After testing bunch of ROMs, I finally landed on Xperia T ROM. Its not the most talked about ROM around, but definitely has its own fan following and Im definitely going to be one among them. It has all the MODs that I wanted (toggles, latest apps, cybershot, small apps etc...) and yet it offered smoothness and free RAM of close to 100 MB. Most importantly, it offered loads of options while installing (in Aroma Installer). So, you can pick and choose whatever u want. It is one of the few ROMs wherein Sound Enhancements in Walkman player and Online mode in Album works out of the box without any tweaking!

So, I suggest you to give it a shot. Im sure u wont regret it :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadman3000:
Hmm. Just read that T ROM has broken wifi tethering. Also read that AOSP ROM's don't have in call mute? It's quite a bit involved installing that ROM by the look of things too. I will monitor the thread for a while though and ask about the in call mute feature.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Sometimes, it's not about the ROM, it's the mods you flash on the ROM. I have been using stock ROM for quite some time and I have flashed a few mods to tweak and improve the stock ROM. You can go to the Themes and Apps section to find these kind of mods.

I ordered a used HTC One X and it arrived today, needed to get a micro sim for it so i bought it, however whenever I tried to enter the sim unlock code on start up it kept saying request unsuccessful. After searching on this forum I found that the problem was because the phone had already been flashed on cyanogenmod 10, I was told that I would have to flash to a 'sense' rom for me to be able to unlock the sim. Having done this now I have managed to possibly brick my phone.

It gets passed the HTC logo and the jellybean loading screen keeps looping (jellybeans floating around screen). I downloaded the all-in-one kit and tried flashing stock recovery and kernal, and it managed to get past the booting screen to a screen showing that android is updating. however once it got to updating the last app it got stuck again. since then i havent managed to get back on that screen, just a continuous bootloop.

the phone originally was on Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2, with cyanogenmod 10(i think it was 10)

I tried flashing it to this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546970

Long story short, I tinkered to much and was completely stupid and forgot to make a back up of my original wpa_supplicant file when I was attempting to get ad-hoc to work correctly. Now for the life of me I can not get the wifi on the device to even turn on. I have tried multiple wpa_supplicant files that claim they were supposed to be compatible with android 4.0.4. I have succesfully rooted the device (obviously had to be rooted to replace the file I lost) All in all this really isn't a horrible device for the price and really want to get the wifi on the device working again.

Does anyone have a stock wpa_supplicant file for android 4.0.4 that will work with my device, or does anyone have any helpful tips?
